Reviewed January 2018The 1970 vintage of Oddero Barolo is drinking beautifully and has probably been into its plateau of peak maturity for twenty or more years already. The complex and very elegant nose offers up a gorgeous blend of dried cherries, camphor, a touch of orange peel, gamebird, oregano and a fine base of forest floor. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and very transparent in personality, with a good core, excellent focus and balance, modest remaining tannins and a long, tangy and gently autumnal finish. This is really a very fine example of this high quality, sleeper Barolo vintage. (JG) 92+
Notes
Oddero was founded in 1878, in the area of Santa Maria, a hamlet of La Morra. It is one of the oldest producers of Barolo, a family that has kept the distinctive traditional style of winemaking for over a century. Over the generations, the Oddero family has gradually expanded its vineyards to today's impressive 60 hectares, many of which lie in the illustrious Barolo vineyards of Brunate, Rocche di Castiglione, Villero, and Mondoca di Bussia.
